What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundStigma toward people with substance use disorders (SUDs) has been documented across health professions and is associated with negative impacts.
methodsWe created a freely available, documentary-style video intervention aimed at reducing SUD stigma among healthcare workers. The video features narrative from people with SUD and commentary by healthcare workers experienced in addiction treatment. Participants working in clinical and non-clinical roles viewed and briefly discussed the video documentary, and were asked to complete a pre- and post-survey that included the Medical Condition Regard Scale (MCRS). We evaluated differences in attitudes among participants completing both surveys using paired
resultsFour hundred seventy-one people completed a pre-survey, 366 completed a post-survey, and of these, 276 provided paired responses. Among paired responses, 63% were from medical students, 19% medical providers, 3% residents/fellows, 9% clinical staff, and 6% non-clinical staff and pharmacists. Attitudes endorsed were highly positive prior to the intervention with a mean MCRS score of 52.3 ± 7.8 (range 6-66). Scores increased to 55.2 ± 7.6,
conclusionViewing a freely available documentary-style video featuring personal narrative from patients with SUD and commentary from SUD-focused professionals was effective in reducing healthcare worker stigma toward people with SUDs and in anticipating the positive impact of treatment encounters.
